Which of the following decisions could most be called a robbery?

[emax]

Of the following highly contested decisions, which one do you think was the one that had the strongest case for being a robbery? Of the following, could you rank them in terms of most like a robbery to least or identify one or a couple that stand out as being especially problematic and indicative of a robbery?

Georges St Pierre vs Hendricks
Lawler vs Hendricks 2
Benson Henderson vs Frankie Edgar 2
Amanda Nunes vs Valentina Shevchenko
Dominick Cruz vs TJ Dillashaw
Jon Jones vs Alex Gustaffson

Of these, is it possible to rank them from most to least classifiable as a robbery or point out one or 2 that really stand out?

Bj/gsp 1

 

[chitoortiz]

Maybe Bendo - Edgar 2 or Lawler - Hendricks 2....but I don't think I would call them robberies

Also I had GSP, Cruz and Jones winning as well.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

You could also add Uncle creepy vs MM

 

[ScoopSubMMA]

None of those are robberies.

 

[SammyPops]

Jones-Gus.

 

[cyrusthevyrus]

Jon Jones vs Alex Gustaffson

Closely contested fights are never robberies.

Close fights aren't robberies.

Sanchez vs Pearson is a real robbery.
or Sanchez vs Kampmann.

Bj/gsp 1

Zero arguargu that Penn won two rounds! He only won the first because of the eye poke

 

[Hotora86]

This one:

 

[ArtemV]

Shevchenko vs Nunes 2
Henderson vs Edgar 2
Cruz vs Dillashaw

 

[Sean Long]

In Amanda Nunes vs Valentina Shevchenko, Nunes clearly destroyed Mullet........

 

[VitorBelfoTRT]

All of these fights were close. Not a robbery.

 

[VitorBelfoTRT]

In Amanda Nunes vs Valentina Shevchenko, Nunes clearly destroyed Mullet........

Only biased homophobes or something think Nunes lost so they delusionally go for the hot chick. Nunes won every round, she was the dominant one pushing the pace and had Schevchenko's back against the fence the entire time, kept her composure the few times Shev connected,etc.

As much as I like Robbie Lawler for his violence filled action fights, he's robbed guys pretty good. His rematch against Hendricks was pretty much him winning the 1st round and the last minute of round 5, yet somehow coming up with the decision win. Not that I'm complaining since 70% Hendricks and all that, but that was one hell of a robbery.

GDR over Holly.

Only Lawler vs Hendricks 2. It's like the judges punished Hendricks for cruising in the 5th. I know I'm in the minority but I scored Lawler vs Hendricks 1 for Lawler and even though I was rooting for Lawler I scored the second for Hendricks. I thought Hendricks had the second fight in the bag.


In fact GSP/Hendricks was the proper decision.

I had Cruz 49-46 over TJ. I only gave TJ the 4th.

I had Gus over Jones but it comes down to how you score the 4th. Do you score it for Gus who controlled about 4 of the 5 minutes or do you score it for Jones who landed the most significant strikes and did the most significant damage of the fight in the last minute of the fight? This fight can't be called a robbery under any circumstance.

I wanted Val to win but she was waiting for Nunes to gas and when she didn't she didn't have a backup plan.

It's been awhile since I saw the Frankie vs Benson fights so I can't comment but it was a close fight.

Closely contested fights are never robberies.

People don't want to accept this fact. You can perform very well and still lose.
